S‐nitrosylation is the binding of an NO group to a cysteine or other thiol. Like phosphorylation, S‐nitrosylation is a precisely targeted and rapidly reversible post‐translational modification that serves as an on/off switch for protein function during cell signaling. However, unlike phosphorylation, S‐nitrosylation of proteins occurs nonenzymatically, mediated, at least in part, by redox‐regulated chemical reactions in cells. Alterations in pH, pO2, cellular reductants, transition metals, and UV light lead to the loss and/or gain of S‐NO bonds. Due to the redox‐sensitive nature of the modification, analysis of protein S‐nitrosylation is technically difficult, the S‐NO bond formation being easily disrupted during sample preparation. In addition, the level of S‐nitrosylated proteins in cells approaches the limit of detection of currently available technology. Despite these technical challenges, several useful methods have been developed recently to measure protein S‐nitrosylation in biologic samples, and these are described in this unit.
